iOS 11 can be activated on bypassed devices if you downgrade iPad to 10.3.3 and then you do update with WiFi and don’t update with iTunes . But the problem is that you can now downgrade but after maybe 1 month you can’t do it

If you have already had suck problem and can’t restore from backup than write to Apple support. Pretend to be a noob. Say that you bought such a device and tried to upgrade to version 11. Do not say anything about the bypass procedure.

I have tested 2 different ipads (air and a air 2), both can’t be activated with ios 11. however if you just upgrade via OTA than it will work fine. but if you restore or reset it than you cant activate. This is the end of icloud hardware bypass.

Hi Many people sold such devices as usual. If Apple blocks buyers, then scandal will rise. When the support for iOS 10 stops, all you must fill up the technical support of Apple with letters that your purchased device has blocked

hi boss, i have already bypass the ipad pro 9,7, now i’m traying to fix the grey wifi, i have take out the nand and i have use the JC N2 for unlock wifi, but wifi still in grey, should i change wifi and mac adrees? you thing that will work ?? and i have donate U$S 50 , thanks for your hard work boss! i apreciate a lot! from argentine!

$20 USD anyways. Also if you ever need detailed close up photos to specific devices. I have a very small repair business; so I come across various devices. Just ask and you shall receive (maybe lol) via my email I sent you a message from

hello i have a iPad air 2 on 10.2.1 i tried to jailbreak but no cydia,i have yalu102 on the screen ,im connected with my iPhone on bluetooth and tried already 20 times with no results,no cydia, it is possible i have done this wrong?thx for the help

I did 2 ipad’s air 2 64 gb, both of them worked fine. however since 10.2 is not signed anymore i could only go to 10.3.2 so now i have to wait for jailbreak. there would be the other method to change the wifi board on the motherboard, but there is no guarantee that the board will not get damaged since it has underfill also. When you think that replacing the wifi driver is such an easy task, but we can not do it just because we do not have root access it’s a shame. There could be another way to make a custom firmware with the driver already inside, but lately apple has done all they could to patch this as well and not be able to write cfw’s anymore either. There used to be a glitch that allowed to install cfw’s with patched setup.app to bypass icloud in software mode, but it does not work anymore, not even on older devices.

Hi. On ipad 1475 air 1 i removed the resistor many times but this time itunes recognises ipad as an iphone. I only find it on ipad mini until now but never on other ipad. Any help? I did donation Pavel almost 2 years ago when i first found your blog. I Will do again after i will test solution on ipad pro and air 2. Thx in advance

I pad Air 2 10.3.2. working with bypass! (I messed something up, now all I see is a grey and white screen, what did I do wrong, it respond to touch, i can hear voice over saying all the setup steps as I navigate said the welcome to your new ipad in itunes and everything, but I cant see JACK, in other words NOTHING! what did I mess up? any help would be appreciated.

iPad Air A1475. I’ve removed resistor r1506 without any issues all seems fine but it seems to be getting very warm around where the resistor was removed. Could it be the transceiver over working. What are my options please willing to donate.

Hello Pasha! and all the experts in here hope you guyz are doing well, yesterday i removed this resistor r1205 on my ipad A1396 after removing it the ipad is not showing up even detecting to the pc. first i thougt it was the battery’s fault but i charged it the whole night till now it is not comming up or detecting anywhere. is there any wrong thing i did on it? or was the r1205 chip related to power suply system? any one can help with it or telling me wat to do of it. thank you.

I doubt anyone can help with this…but….I have ipad 12.9 pro wifi + 4g lte…my issue is i am trying to reprogram the 4g lte wifi module to wifi only model…(the wifi chip itself)….i remove wifi chip, use machine to reprogram nand, but wifi module does not convert to wifi only module…it stays greyed out..

im trying to do the same process as if i JB the ipad and replace wifi files…. im doing it through hardware, im trying to get the ipad to rewrite the wifi module files.. take off wifi module, restore ipad to wifi only firmware, then put wifi chip back on…. i am stuck

Sorry for my horrible english hsh Obrigao.

Hello greetings from venezuela thanks to all your informations about bypass in ipad learned to do in all the indicated models without being technician in iphone the verda I feel very grateful for I am living of this so many thanks auque I would like to do it in iphone again thanks

Hello, Tested with Ipad Air 2 (IOS 10.1.1), wifi not greyed anymore, just follow instructions above. For jailbreak i used yalu beta and cydia impactor (cydia may not work at the first try, just don’t give up!). for trusting developer app you will have to connect to a phone with bluetooth tethering enabled (i used an android phone on KitKat).

Thank you alot Pavel ! (finally it works after an accidentally update in October 2016!)

Hey, Ipad was on ios 9.3.3 (Wifi-Only) when the hardware modification was done. i’ve then (accidentally) updated to ios 10.1.1 (when it was signed yet, itunes downloaded wifi version) => Wifi Lost. I’ve stopped any upgrade since October waiting for a jailbreak to be released. If you’re in the same case, i suggest you to keep the actual ios (wifi version, or at least the oldest signable ios) until the release of it’s jailbreak and manually add drivers.

Hi. I unlock iPad Air 1 1475 but after restore audio is not working. If I put my ear near the case I can hear something like scratches. It is impossible to short circuit the audio ic . I have done this 100 times with air 1.

Hello pavel, I have a question … If you can help me, I will be happy to help the owner, and I will get to work with this great tutorial …. If I have my iPad Air 2 3gs in iOS 10.1.1, and get jailbroken. Do the wifi drivers work for this?

Hi Pavel, I found your blog and I feel like I am very close to solving my problem. I have just sent a donation of $5. And I have some questions, if you could answer them, please. I’ve got iPad mini 1 A1455 with broken baseband modem (it just stopped working and disappeared from Settings – empty field). After upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 9.3.5 the iPad is not starting any more. Each restore attempt fails. In the log it is visible that it cannot pass to the second stage because of communication problem with the baseband. Now my questions is whether you feel your methode will help and I’ll be able to restore to iOS 9.3.5. So it is not only if that would help the iPad to “forget” it has a baseband, but also if your solution will work with iOS 9.3.5. Many thanks in advance! And I hope you’ll be able to recover with your hand soon! Cheers, Pawel

You accidentally shorted out a backlight coil, IC, and/or filter. Its a common mistake that occurs when metal touches or comes close enough to cause a discharge and short out the delicate components. In order to repair it you will need to have SMD soldering skills. You can find people on ebay to repair it for you.

As you know I made long time surgery on my hand. And not all went good. Then there was the 2 months of rehabilitation. It turned out that the doctor hurt something in my hand. 🙁

Now I have new problems and maybe will do few surgeries. So at this time I am not able contribute something new. I’m a bit in decline because of all these problems, which excruciate me for several years. 🙁

Hello greetings I am from venezuela and eh followed all your step in the explanations of the icloud in supported ipad models and I left perfectly well I can say that I am an expert thanks for the information mail davidbarreto03@gmail.com

After bypass on ipad 3 wifi dont work…can be activated, but see the wifi networks only within 30 centimeters away from the source … I’ve already tried changing the antenna … any ideas? Thanks in advance.

All icloud locked Ipads that are not cellular can be unlocked now. The service is offered on ebay by more then one seller. Some how they are able to bypass icloud with only the serial number of the wifi Ipad.

My iPad is on iOS 9.3.5 and I wait Jailbreak of iOS 9.3.5 for fix it. My Wifi is currently grey’d out. Somone know when jaibreak of iOS 9.3.5 will be release for replace wifi driver of my iPad Air 2? Thanks Michel Stephane

hello , you have find any solution for ipad air 2 unlock it from icloud and fix the wifi on ios 9.3.4?? ipad is stuck on dfu mode with ios 9.3.1 but after restore from itunes the ios 9.3.3 show error 3194 , maybe last firmuware relase is 9.3.5 and , 93.4 can instal only in ipad. who can help us?

ok, you have to restore to 9.3.5, but do it quickly. Then downgrade to 9.3.4. This will only work as long as apple has signed 9.3.4 and who knows how long that will last. After that, maybe semi jailbreak and try to replace wifi driver files after that? I’m not sure… But I WAS able to downgrade to 9.3.4 from 9.3.5. If there was only a way to trick iTunes into thinking 9.3.3 was signed…
